1 “Pea naʻa tau tafoki, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ki Pesani: pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ke tauʻi ʻakitautolu, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻi ʻEtilei.
Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. Og, the king of Bashan, came and attacked us, he and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he te u tukuange ia, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua ki ho nima; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.’
Yahweh said to me, 'Do not fear him; for I have given you victory over him and have put all his people and his land under your control. You will do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.'
3 “Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ki hotau nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē: pea naʻa tau teʻia ia ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tokotaha kiate ia.
So Yahweh our God also gave us victory over Og the king of Bashan, and all his people were put under our control. We struck them down until not one of his people remained.
4 Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe ʻikai toe ha kolo ʻe taha naʻa tau taʻelavaʻi ʻiate kinautolu, ko e kolo ʻe onongofulu, ko e potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ʻi Pesani.
We took all his cities at that time. There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5 Ko e ngaahi kolo ni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻā māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae ngaahi kolo taʻeʻā naʻe lahi ʻaupito.
These were all cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; this was besides very many unwalled villages.
6 Pea naʻa tau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa tau fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kakai tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, ʻoe kolo kotoa pē.
We completely destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, completely destroying every city—men and the women and the little ones.
7 Ka ko e fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e vete ʻoe ngaahi kolo, naʻa tau toʻo ko e koloa maʻatautolu.
But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities, we took as spoils for ourselves.
8 “Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he nima ʻoe ongo tuli ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻae ngaahi fonua ʻoku ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu atu ki he moʻunga ko Heamoni;
At that time we took the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon
9 (ʻAe Heamoni ko ia ʻoku ui ʻe he kau Saitoni ko Silioni; pea ʻoku ui ia ʻe he kakai ʻAmoli ko Sina; )
(Mount Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir)
10 Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe toafa, mo Kiliati kotoa pē, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki Salika mo ʻEtilei, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani.”
and all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and all Bashan, all the way to Salekah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.”
11 He naʻe toe pe ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ʻi he toenga kakai lalahi; vakai, ko hono mohenga ko e mohenga ukamea; ʻikai ʻoku ʻi Lapate ia ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni? Ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma valu ʻa hono lōloa, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe valu, ʻo fakatatau ki he hanga ʻoe tangata.
(For of the remnant of the Rephaim, only Og king of Bashan had remained. Look! His bed was a bed of iron. Was it not in Rabbah, where the descendants of Ammon live? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, the way people measure.)
12 “Pea ko e fonua ni, naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni, mo hono vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe moʻunga ko Kiliati, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia, ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
“This land that we took in possession at that time—from Aroer, that is by the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and its cities—I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
13 Pea ko hono toe ʻo Kiliati, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki, naʻaku ʻatu ki hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase; ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ui ko e fonua ʻoe kakai lalahi.”
The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, and all Bashan. The same territory is called the land of Rephaim.
14 Ko Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa ʻo aʻu atu ki he potu
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob to the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites. He called the region, even Bashan, by his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)
15 ʻo Kesuli mo Meʻekati; pea naʻa ne ui ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona, ko Peasini-hevatisaili ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea ne u ʻatu ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili.
I gave Gilead to Machir.
16 Pea ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata mei Kiliati ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni hono vaeua ʻoe vahaʻa moʻunga, mo hono mata fonua ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko Sapoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave territory from Gilead to the Valley of the Arnon—the middle of the valley is the territory's border—and to the Jabbok River, which is the border with the descendants of Ammon.
17 Ko e toafa foki, mo Sioatani, mo hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia, mei Kinileti ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻio ki he tahi kona, ʻi lalo ʻi ʻAsitotipisika ʻi he potu hahake.”
Another of its borders is also the plain of the Jordan River valley, from Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea) to the slopes of Mount Pisgah eastward.
18 “Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni ke mou maʻu: te mou ʻalu atu mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae tau.
I commanded you at that time, saying, 'Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it; you, all the men of war, will pass over armed before your brothers, the people of Israel.
19 Ka ko homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, (he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi hoʻomou fanga manu, ) tenau nofo ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi kolo ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu;
But your wives, your little ones, and your cattle (I know that you have much cattle), will stay in your cities that I have given you,
20 Ke ʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlō ki homou kāinga, ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke ʻoua ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ko ia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea te mou toki liu mai ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo u tuku kiate kimoutolu.’
until Yahweh gives rest to your brothers, as he has to you, until they also possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving them beyond the Jordan; then will you return, every man of you, to your own property that I have given you.'
21 “Pea ne u fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mamata ʻe ho mata ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki he ongo tuʻi ni: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.
I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, 'Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings; Yahweh will do the same to all the kingdoms where you go over.
22 ‌ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu: he koeʻuhi ʻe tau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua maʻamoutolu.’
You will not fear them, for Yahweh your God is the one who will fight for you.'
23 “Pea ne u fakakolekole kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē,
I implored Yahweh at that time, saying,
24 ‘ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo ke kamata fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ho lahi, mo ho nima mālohi; he ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻi langi pe ʻi māmani, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, pea tatau mo ho māfimafi?
'O Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong hand; for what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do the same works as you have done, and the same mighty acts?
25 ‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku au ke u ʻalu atu, ʻo mamata ki he fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻae moʻunga matamatalelei ko ia, mo Lepanoni.’
Let me go over, I beg you, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that good hill country, and also Lebanon.'
26 Ka naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga kiate au: pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Ke ke fiemālie pe koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe lea kiate au ʻi he meʻa ni.
But Yahweh was angry with me because of you; he did not listen to me. Yahweh said to me, 'Let this be enough for you—speak no more to me about this matter:
27 ‌ʻAlu hake koe ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, pea hanga atu ho mata ki lulunga, mo tokelau, mo tonga, mo hihifo, pea vakai ʻaki ia ho mata: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke laka ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward, northward, southward, and eastward; look with your eyes, for you will not go over the Jordan.
28 Ka ke fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua, mo tokoni lelei kiate ia, mo fakamālohi ia: koeʻuhi ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he kakai ni, pea te ne fakahoko atu ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.’
Instead, instruct Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will go over before this people, and he will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.'
29 “Pea naʻa tau nofo ai ʻi he potu māʻulalo ʻoku hangatonu ki Pete Peoli.”
So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
